New York Times: Google Just Made It Easier for Campaigns to Send You Fund-Raising Emails. This link goes to a gift article. “Google quietly rolled out a new program on Monday that will allow candidates, political parties and political action committees to more easily bypass Gmail’s spam filter and send fund-raising appeals to the inboxes of the company’s many millions of email users.”

I am, unfortunately, once again reminded that "Let me explain your joke post to you" is:
a) not what you were looking for in responses to your post, and
b) sadly all too common in the fediverse.

This surely is peak UI design. Putting the most important information in dark gray on top of slightly darker gray. There is no reason the progress should not be shown in the most prominent color possible. Except if Apple's designers actively hate users or have no idea how to make information visible.

I have an older laptop from 2014 that I utilize for tasks that get me away from sitting at my desk for hours on end. I think my ssd is starting to fail. It has had 2 boot loader issues, it possibly corrupted a USB (not sure because that USB is old af, like when 1 gb was amazing), and now it seems to be freezing at random times. I've checked for virus and malware (definitely not new to computers and not my first rodeo) and nothing. The ssd is also old af. #PCTroubles #ICantAffordThis #ugh #PC

Okay you’re still on this huh? IM NOT EXPLAINING ANYMORE. You clearly think badly of anyone who’s sexual and you expect me to separate and cater the content towards your own personal bias. I won’t hide aspects of my life to make YOU feel better in your puritanical bs #puritanical #sw #ugh

Local well known bookkeeping company announced on linkedin that they were mandating their employees to use AI.
Now I talked with a backend developer this weekend who told me his company’s leadership was inspired by that to also mandate it. “I haven’t written any code in months”. And that companies in the vicinity have hiring freezes. #ughI keep thinking of that time in ‘12 my boss said that my e-mail html was ugly and ‘you can just use Photoshop slices and export generated html!’ … (nope)

Went to the mailbox just a minute ago to get today's mail (and Saturday's, which we forgot to grab). Pull out the mail and hundreds of tiny ants and ant eggs come tumbling out. Ants everywhere, inside envelopes, inside magazines, inside a small package.
This is not the first time it's happened but this is the first time I've seen it happen this early. Going to have to put control bait at the back of the mailbox.

Met a man today who tried to convince me there was no distinction betweens Russians and Ukrainians because he lived in Russia and "couldn't tell the difference". Buddy, your dearth of observational skills and unwillingness to learn Ukrainian and listen to Ukrainians is the problem, not the absence of a distinction between the two. It's like some people are proud of their ignorance?

Great… looks like DuckDuckGo’s image page still shows GenAI images even when you toggle it not to!

Trying to find a restaurant's opening hours online, the first search result is an AI-generated article claiming that that restaurant has closed, complete with an involved elegy on the crisis of the neighborhood, quotes from the owners (all made up, including their names), and reflections on the hard times for gastronomy in New Orleans in general. As source, the slop article links a newspaper article that actually exists but is about the OPENING of said restaurant, not its closing. #Ugh
